Monthly Mingle Log

[thalassino]

Is it that time of the month already?

...No, today is not the start of shark week.

The Station Master's taken precautions to make this month's mingle party nice and laid back, after that rather magnetic week. Today, locals are all over the Plaza starting to put up the decorations for this strange holiday known as "Christmas", and they're more than happy to cheerfully rope any foreigner who doesn't look too busy into helping them.

The food tables are back, albeit with more drink than food. Hot chocolate, gluhwein mulled wine, a huge bowl of fruit punch, you name it, it's there. Foodwise, there's snowflake shaped crackers with cheese and meats, shrimp cocktails, cups filled with green or red jelly, and plenty of cookies to go around.

Near the food tables are the two usual booths, one belonging to the Welcoming Committee, armed with all the information a newbie would want to know, and the other belonging to the Host Club, manned by all the male eyecandy you could ever need. Have they done something special for their booths this festive season? Better sashay their way and find out!

Walking around all the tables and booths is what looks to be a giant lobster(???) in a Santa suit handing out candy to anyone and everyone nearby. It seems the locals don't understand that it's "Santa Claus", not "Sandy Claws."

Finally, it looks like there's been a new addition to the plaza. Was that ice skating rink over there last night?? It certainly fits the theme, and the locals don't seem to be surprised. They'll even help you lace up those skates and take them for a spin. Bundle up and try not to fall too much!

Woo... [He's happy to get those headpats, but as soon as the ice skating suggestion is made, he backs up a good foot away from the edge, tail between his legs.

Uh, no, really, that's okay! He'll drown some other time, it's fine.]

[beauchevalier]

[He might be slightly laughing at Chibi.]

It's made of ice, you won't fall in. If it helps though, I'll hold onto you.

[sonlight]

[Yeah, sure, have your laughs at his fears! You're not the one who can't swim...

Huff.

Angelo's comments at least have him annoyed enough to try again, so he steps closer and puts just one paw on the ice. One at a time, yep. Baby steps. So far so good, right?]

[beauchevalier]

[He grabs Chibi with a sigh, because the pup was moving too slow for him.]

Let's go Sunshine. [And off they go across the ice fast as lightning.]

[sonlight]

Awoooo! [Chibi scrambles around in his grasp, trying to find the best possible, absolutely most saferest way to cling to Angelo that he can.]

[beauchevalier]

[He starts laughing more again and smiling.]

Isn't this fun, Sunshine?! [He does a small leap in the air, only to land back down onto the ice followed by a twirl. All the while, still making sure to hold onto Chibi tightly.]

[sonlight]

[No, it's terrifying--

Okay, admittedly, the spin was kind of fun... sort of... Chibi relaxes just a smidge.


How is this guy balancing without using his arms??]

[beauchevalier]

[Because he's had some practice on the ice, Chibi. You're not the only one he's been carrying around all day.]

You know Sunshine, this is the first time in a long while I've felt as though I'm having real fun.

[sonlight]

Woo? [Chibi peeks around from the attempted stranglehold he has on Angelo, looking curious, if somewhat amused.

Not a lot of fun where you're from, bro?]

[beauchevalier]

I could care less about going home, the problem is I've been missing someone terribly. At first the question of why I miss this person in the first place kept bothering me and then I came to a realization. I miss them because they inspired me to do more with my life and think about matters of the heart.
